Today im here with leaders from business, from labor, from faith communities, who are united around one goal. Finishing the job of fixing a broken immigration system. This is not just an idea whose time has come. This is an idea whose time has been around for years now. Leaders like all of you, have worked together with republicans and democrats, in this town in good faith, for years, to try to get this done. And this is the moment when we should be able to finally get the job done. Its no secret the American People havent seen much out of washington that they like these days. The shutdown, and the threat of the first default in more than 200 years, inflicted real pain on our businesses and families across the country and it was a completely unnecessary selfinflicted wounds that happened to r

What specific steps is the fbi doing to ensure that innocent americans are not incorrectly placed on the nofly list and what reforms are being made to ensure that those who are erroneously placed on the lists are quickly removed . Thank you. I know i agree with your premise that its important to protect our liberties.

I dont know enough to respond to your concern about the time lag or what improvements are needed. Could you respond to us in writing . Sure. Let me then ask about hate crime tracking. After the 9 11 attacks hate crime and violence committed against individuals in the seikh hindu and arab communities has increased.
